2 ply vs 6 ply
Does anyone know how much effect going from a 2ply to a 6ply tire will have on my 250 Recon? I have 25in (2ply) tires currently on it and it does not seem to bog it down in any way but I'm wondering if the 6ply's will. I compared weights online and it looks like going with the 6ply's will only add 20#'s total and since I'm not a big guy (155lbs) I don't think they will slow it down.
Any input?

You are bound to feel a little difference in acceleration, you are adding 20 lbs of weight the engine has to spin to get moving, which translates a little differently than 20 pounds on the seat or racks. I would still go for it though. 6 ply tires are much more durable and the performance decrease will be pretty small. It isn't like you are drag racing the thing and need to shave every possible ounce.
